Steps:

  1. start a translation of an article from portuguese to english (example)
  2. translate a paragraph of text
  3. on the top right corner, the "Initial translation" component will appear with the "Why?" link. Click it

Actual results:

  • the component closes and we can't access the link

Expected results:

  • the link opens on a new tab

The next step would be either (1 or 2):

  1. the component closes since the translated text is no longer selected
  2. the focus goes back to the translated paragraph keeping the component open

I think the underlying issue is that interacting with the tools sidebar should not be consider as a complete loss of focus from the content. this is causing several issues with the MT limits too (T251887), showing them earlier than expected and creating confusion.
